Escape By Any Meansby `Katerina423

Photography / People & Portraits / Expressive

UPDATE:
I'm currently updating my website and in the process reworking a ton of images. This is one of them.

This was shot at the same time as a series called "Late Night Conversations" (I posted one of them a while ago: ...that I'm seriously fucked.)

Without seeing it in the context of the series, I guess it comes off as more conceptual.. but, for me, it was always very grounded. Of the whole "shoot", this was the image I wanted to get.. and I got it.

Sometimes we need a way out... and sometimes we're willing to escape by any means necessary.

This wasn't available for comment before, so I figured I'd just open it up comments.. cuz.. well.. why the hell not?

Description from 2006:
----
My contribution to the End of Year Clearance

I realized that I haven't posted any sort of goofy fun shots... and then i realized that I don't actually have any like that! let me see what I can dig up for you folks.

Model - `arachnid15 who was willing to crawling into a nasty dirty oven for my shot..

I like how you added some subtlety to what he's trying to do with so much of the ordinary setting of the kitchen showing in the image and much of his body hidden in shadow. Great execution and concept, Katie.

Great shot, hun. the picture seems to be so defined by the two parts- the bright top half and the dark, dingy lower half. great focus and a fantastic idea

woah, creepy and quite awesome.

This is such a dark feeling shot. The lighting of the figure is very well done.

I love you guys. You can always escape to here whenever you need.

I don't think anyone in the history of mankind has tried to bake themselves in stove... fuck man, that would be painful!

Anyways, it reminds me of a short movie called Bunny where the Bunny climbs in the stove to find her husband, or something.

Found it! [link]

It also reminds me of my ferret!

No.. I do not believe that have. Dimensions would present a problem, I imagine. But if a grown person *could* fit into an oven.. perhaps there would be more attempts.

And that video rocks

Sylvia Plath comes to mind, though it was the gas from the oven...she did kill herself with her head in it

Exactly
